<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Still remember when I made my debut by saying that <a href="https://iddqd.press/animu/2019/10/21/strawman-nazis-at-work-blue-comet-spt-layzner-ova-episode-2-spoilers.html">the second half of the mecha anime, <em>Blue Comet SPT Layzner</em>, is actually <em>V: The Anime</em></a>, with all that assimilation and subjugation bullshit? I called the series an Asian version of <em>V</em> due to the antifascist allegories in this arc of the anime.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Ah... <em>V</em>, the miniseries where reptilians went into disguise as humanoids and shot everyone who were suspicious of their behavior. The one miniseries which became <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1983/05/04/movies/v-series-an-nbc-hit.html">the second most popular TV show</a> of the week it aired. But behind that stuff, are allegories for the third positionist movements that bloomed during the interbellum, and from that third positionist point of view, I'm going to review it.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:heading --></p>
<h2>So, what's <em>V</em>, actually?</h2>
<p><!-- /wp:heading --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
The eighties was the era for behavior and habits that thirties third positionists would call degenerate to begin blooming; <em>looking at you MTV</em>. It was also the era of Reaganism, where (((neoliberalism))) and (((neoconservatism))) were all the rage.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>But the eighties wasn't just that. One of the most popular science fiction TV series premiered in the eighties: <em>V</em></p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Created by Kenneth Johnson&mdash;who'd just adapted Martin Caidin's <em>Cyborg </em>into a popular television series (<em>The Six Million Dollar Man</em>), spun the television series adaptation off into <em>The Bionic Woman</em>, and produced <em>The Incredible Hulk</em>&mdash;<em>V </em>tells about an alien occupation. An alien occupation miniseries that was so popular that some kids actually reenacted some of the scenes (in particular the battle scenes).</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>But behind all that, the miniseries is actually an allegory for third positionism, in particular National Socialism. <strong>In fact, it was originally written as a miniseries chronicling the rise of grassroots fascism rule in the US, based on Sinclair Lewis' <em>It Can't Happen Here</em></strong>, the liberals' fantasy of fascism as Stalinist totalitarianism in the sense of no opposition to government-sponsored politics and policies allowed <em>&aacute; la Nineteen Eighty-Four</em>, where anyone who exhibits wrongthink would be interned to torture camps.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Johnson, who already read <em>It Can't Happen Here</em>, was of course intrigued by the plot of the book. Looking at the facts that neocons (see: ziocons) were having a prominent role in the Reagan administration and the administration's "similarities with interwar fascism" (which, of course, is not similar), he decided to write a screenplay about the rise of "fascism" in 80s America which he dubbed <em>Storm Warnings</em>. He decided to submit it to NBC, where in one dinner with NBC president (((Tartikoff))) the screenplay was rejected because in his opinion:<OL><LI>people would enjoy watching something like <em>Red Dawn</em> instead of watching an antifascist tale</LI><LI>scifi was gaining general popularity at the time, and</LI><LI>"it's something that should be on TV instead of being shown in the movies".</LI></OL>So at the behest of Tartikoff, Johnson rewrote <em>Storm Warnings</em> into a science fiction story instead but with all the allegories sticked on.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>And thanks to faux propaganda posted in many places meant for promoting the new miniseries, <em>V</em> became the most popular show on NBC of the week it aired.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:heading --></p>
<h2>Considering <em>V</em>'s actual content</h2>
<p><!-- /wp:heading --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The miniseries aired for two episodes, one hundred minutes each. The series begins with a battle on commie conquered Latin America interrupted by the appearances of flying saucers like this one:</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>

<p><!-- /wp:image --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>As hordes of space aliens arrived, people became curious on why they came. Not long after, every television all around the world broadcasted the aliens' message: <em>UN secretary-general, please meet us at a certain place tonight!</em> they said.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:image {"align":"right","width":405,"height":233,"sizeSlug":"large"} --></p>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/P5Q3Q7Wf/image.png" alt="" width="405" height="233" /></figure>
</div>
<p><!-- /wp:image --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>And he did. The alien Visitors came, inviting the Secretary-General into one of their shuttle crafts like one seen above. After the Visitors said they came in peace, the Secretary-General allowed the "Supreme Commander" of the Visitors to speak. They came from Sirius on behalf of The Leader (which is an unseen, extraterrestrial expy of the F&uuml;hrer and Reich Chancellor Adolf Hitler), they needed things to be made in some plants, and approached the Secretary General with an attitude of "please accept our requests."</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>So they accepted the aliens' request, and everyone immediately got hyped with First Contact. There's even a marching band celebrating their arrival on the first of those plants. But things slowly went awry.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:list --></p>
<ul>
<li>First, they announced something similar to the Hitler Youth: the Visitor Youth. Daniel, one of the protagonists even joined the group!</li>
<li>Then, they began to persecute scientists (ALL OF THEM!) with false flag evidences claiming that scientists are trying to overthrow Visitors' relationship. Does this ring a bell about the (allegedly-)false flag Reichstag fire?</li>
</ul>

<figcaption><em>Does this remind you of anything?</em></figcaption>
</figure>
</div>
<p><!-- /wp:image --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Mike got into a fight with two Visitors where he found out that the human body of the Visitors were just a suit. They were reptilians who even eat live rats. Why was I reminded of chinese people, especially since coronachan happened? Before the two Visitors ate those rats, one of them&mdash;a girl called Diana&mdash;spoke on "conversion," which was the term they used to describe indoctrinating people to be Visitor subservients.
</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Those exchanges were taped, so Mike went to the TV station to break the news. As the news about the true form of the Visitors nearly broke, every TV station was suddenly hijacked by those Visitors. The Visitors announced "for the sake of order we are taking over media and communications!!" Of course, a political correctness narrative begins at this very point.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Posters were slapped around onto walls and telephone poles. Visitor "shock troopers" were invoked to secure order&mdash;an obvious allegory to Windrip's Minute Men in <em>It Can't Happen Here</em>. But what kind of order? Of course, the liberal and leftist allegation of fascist order, of course. The same Stalinist control of the people, brazenly projected onto the right. "Visitors and Terrans, Building a Better Future Together!" Visitor control was supposed to be Literally ADVENT, i.e., Literally Hitler!</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>And a worse fate was coming to the <em>scientists</em>. Yes, an entire occupational group being regarded as a <em>race</em>!
<blockquote>Instead of journalists like Doremus Jessup being persecuted and ostracized by propaganda in <em>It Can&rsquo;t Happen Here</em>, it is the scientific community in <em>V</em> that poses the most significant danger to the totalitarian regime and is therefore repudiated and denounced by the Visitor-controlled media.</blockquote>&mdash; Dan Copp<sup>[1]:37</sup></p>
<p>It's simply illogical to declare a certain occupation as unnecessary or dangerous. Maybe this is an allusion to the claim that fascism hates intellectualism.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Also of note is that there's a Jew (a Holocaust survivor, of course) ranting that this occupation by the Visitors is literally Nazi. The Jew would play a role to instigate the mass rebellion against the Visitors in the second part, as shown in the last scene where he sprayed a "V" graffiti above the Visitor posters.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:heading --></p>
<h2>The second episode</h2>
<p><!-- /wp:heading --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The second part mostly tells about the human resistance to the Visitors. Collaborator Daniel even betrays his "scientist" family (including his Jewish grandfather), almost shooting all of them. Does this rings a bell about today's distrust of family?</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>They said [my dad's] arrested? But they promised amnesty!</p></blockquote>
&mdash; Daniel, the collaborator to the Visitors upon answering a phone call
<p><!-- /wp:quote --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Daniel's family is arrested and questioned. Of course, today's politically correct description of "being questioned under a dictatorship" is that of torture, forced confessions (i.e., duress, lying for the good of the elite rulers), not a peaceful, orderly interrogation, so this has negative connotations of course. The Visitor told this to Daniel, promising that they would be home "soon." Of course, it's implied that they lied. His Jewish grandfather is said by the Visitor to be "not well," that he was being safe with Visitor doctors (Diana) "helping him feel better." This, however, is an allegory for the alleged experiments of <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://www.renegadetribune.com/josef-mengele-angel-of-death-or-angel-of-life/" target="_blank">Josef Mengele</a>. The good news for Daniel is he gets promoted to the Visitor's second in command and he would marry Diana. This allegory to Josef Mengele is gender-bent, it is worth noting.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>From there, Earth has become the Stalinist dystopia Orwell had imagined, except it's actually Hitlerian because reasons. Mass resistance movements were organized thanks to that cameraman Mike Donovan. People were now living in fear of thoughtcrime.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The scientists are being watched by Big Visitor Brother 24/7. Summary executions and "reeducations" in their motherships (meant to be interpreted as "gulags" here and not "NS concentration camps") awaited them. At one scene some of the resistance see some of these scientists being brought to the shuttle craft to be reeducated. Then these resistance members get caught. Battle ensues. There are refugees planning resistance underground. One of them said that she was "supposed to be a scientist...a doctor... not a plumber, a kind of rebel... They all look at me like I know what to do..."</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Mike Donovan becomes part of the reeducated. We see him on the Visitor mothership. And we see one of the reeducated being forced to enter <strong>a torture chair</strong> like this:</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:image {"align":"center","id":895,"sizeSlug":"large"} --></p>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://iddqd.press/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/vlcsnap-2020-05-02-18h49m22s875.png" alt="person being forced to enter an operating chamber by strawman fascist aliens that actually behaves like communists" class="wp-image-895" /></figure>
</div>
<p><!-- /wp:image --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Despite another Visitor recommending Donovan to be "converted", Diana (said strawman Mengele) is initially reluctant to "convert" him, but later she agrees. We hear screams from the tortured person. Apparently that other Visitor was a rebel. One of the very minority rebels in Visitor Reich. The dissenter said that Diana's way to convert humans would be the most effective and efficient one: implied to be torture <em>a la</em> gulag. Note again that she was meant to be a straw-woman representing the Holocausters' depiction of Josef Mengele.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Another Visitor to the rescue, tells Donovan to change to her Visitor suit and kill her. He goes down to Earth again. Hooray for Donovan! Just a few skirmishes and some other resistance catching Donovan and then the viewer finds out that <strong>nearly everyone</strong> in the town gets arrested! As Dan Copp stated in his examination of <em>V</em>, "Visitor shock troopers don&rsquo;t discriminate dissident from non-dissident and summarily arrest the entire neighborhood&rsquo;s inhabitants for sedition including Mike Donovan&rsquo;s ex-wife and 11-year-old son, Sean, the latter of whom serves as a primary motivation for the cameraman-turned-insurgent to overthrow their uninvited guests."<sup>[1]:38</sup></p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The underground people begin planning resistance. One of them tries to find his daughter who goes out but then got caught for violating stay-at-home curfew. Just then, we see Diana's strawman representation of Josef Mengele as she asks a fellow Visitor for an "unusual experiment" with a human female. Meanwhile said guy who tries to find his daughter is interrogated by the Visitors and forced to confess about his daughter's existence.</p>
<p>And there were these water tanks inside them. Because the true goal of the Visitors, as one of the dissident Visitors said to Donovan was (as I paraphrase): "steal our water, the rarest material in the entire universe, for our survival and to power Our Leader's weapons! Because Our Leader wants all the water on earth! ... No more humans living on Earth when we already take all of them..." And apparently:</p>

<p><!-- /wp:group --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>This is what Diana does to reeducated people. Yes, they are experimented on just like what Josef Mengele allegedly did. Donovan's son is also in a similar chamber in another mothership; the Visitor dissident said that they would be converted into trooper slaveborgs for the Visitor Reich Navy to defeat the enemies of Our Leader, which Donovan implies were our friends! And those that were not be planned to be slaveborgs would become fresh! FOOD!! That makes me remember <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://www.renegadetribune.com/alex-jones-says-he-will-eat-his-neighbors/" target="_blank">Alex Jones</a>.</p>
<p>Donovan sees the result of his wife experimented by the genderbent Mengele wannabe Diana. Donovan and the renegade Visitor wish to kill her.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Fighting ensues as Donovan tries to get out from the mothership, and the miniseries ends, after Donovan convinces the underground resistance of the true nature of the Visitors, with our protagonists sending a message out there, in space, if there were any other extraterrestrial civilizations who could ally with humans, but it's just the beginning. You can continue the journey with Kenny Johnson's sequel novel <em>V: The Second Generation</em> or the second miniseries <em>V: The Final Battle</em> from here.</p>

<h2>Analysis</h2>
<p><!-- /wp:heading --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>I'm sick of this "anti-totalitarian" antifascist piece of crap! Too many lies about history and ideological stuff are being propagated to this political-dystopian-thriller-with-a-science-fiction-shroud. Strawman fascist allegories are scattered literally EVERYWHERE in the miniseries. Remember that this miniseries was meant to be a loose film adaptation of Sinclair Lewis' infamous antifascist novel <em>It Can't Happen Here</em></p>
<p>If you watch the miniseries and interpret the Visitors as globohomo then, yeah, you got it correctly. You'll have an experience similar to watching <em>They Live</em>. But the catch is the strawman fascist nature of the Visitors. Be careful when consuming this work.</p>

IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT THAT EVERYONE TAKE AS MANY PRECAUTIONS AS POSSIBLE TO ENSURE THEIR SYSTEM IS NOT AT RISK OF INFECTION. IF YOU SUSPECT YOUR COMPUTER MIGHT BE INFECTED ALREADY THEN YOU NEED TO QUARANTINE IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THERE ARE ALSO SOCIAL DISTANCING TECHNIQUES THAT YOU CAN EMPLOY THAT WILL DECREASE THE RISK FOR OLDER COMPUTERS THAT YOU MAY COME INTO CONTACT WITH. IT WILL BE A COMMUNAL EFFORT BUT WE WILL DEFEAT THIS VIRUS AND WE WILL SECURE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OUR COMPUTERS.</p>

<p>QUARANTINING A SICK COMPUTER IS A MUST AND ITS CONFUSING TO DO FOR MANY PEOPLE. YOUR FILES AND OPERATING SYSTEM BEING INFECTED MEANS YOU WILL NEED TO QUARANTINE THEM AT MINIMUM 14 TO 21 DAYS. SINCE THE VIRUS IS ONLY TRANSMITTABLE TO HUMANS THROUGH OTHER HUMANS OR ANIMALS TOUCHING THE COMPUTER YOURSELF IS FINE BUT IT COULD INFECT OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES IN YOUR HOUSE. YOU WILL NEED TO PUT THE COMPUTER AWAY IN A REMOTE LOCATION OF THE HOUSE WHERE OTHER DEVICES WILL NOT BE AT RISK. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUR COMPUTER TO STAY HEALTHY DURING THIS QUARANTINE SO MAKE SURE YOU GIVE THE COMPUTER LOTS OF FLUIDS, ENSURE IT IS DEFRAGGED PROPERLY, AND MAKE SURE THE FIREWALL IS WORKING. CHANGING YOUR WIFI PASSWORD IS ALSO A GOOD IDEA SO THAT IT CANNOT USE THE AIRWAVES TO SPREAD TO OTHER DEVICES AS WELL. THE QUARANTINE OF THE DEVICE COULD SAVE ITS LIFE AND YOU SHOULD TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS AS SOON AS YOUR ANTI VIRUS ALERTS YOU OF THE PRESENCE OF THE CORONAVIRUS.</p>

IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT THAT EVERYONE TAKE AS MANY PRECAUTIONS AS POSSIBLE TO ENSURE THEIR SYSTEM IS NOT AT RISK OF INFECTION. IF YOU SUSPECT YOUR COMPUTER MIGHT BE INFECTED ALREADY THEN YOU NEED TO QUARANTINE IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THERE ARE ALSO SOCIAL DISTANCING TECHNIQUES THAT YOU CAN EMPLOY THAT WILL DECREASE THE RISK FOR OLDER COMPUTERS THAT YOU MAY COME INTO CONTACT WITH. IT WILL BE A COMMUNAL EFFORT BUT WE WILL DEFEAT THIS VIRUS AND WE WILL SECURE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OUR COMPUTERS. Don't let this be you THIS VIRUS IS BAD, ITS THE ELECTRONIC EQUIVALENT OF SARS AND THAT DRUG IN FLORIDA THAT MAKES YOU EAT PEOPLE COMBINED INTO ONE FLU. CHINESE ARE VERY SKILLED AT COMPUTERS AND ESPECIALLY THE HACKING AND USING THE DARK WEB. MY SON TELLS ME THAT ALL OF THE MAJOR VIRUSES FOR THE LAST DECADE WERE FROM CHINA JUST BECAUSE THEY FELT LIKE FUCKING WITH US. THE VIRUS WILL INFECT ALL FILES AND IF THE COMPUTER IT INFECTS IS OLD OR IN POOR HEALTH IT WILL CORRUPT EVERY FILE INTO CHINESE LETTERS SO YOU CANNOT READ YOUR EMAILS AND BLUE SCREEN ERRORS WILL CONTINUOUSLY POP UP. TO KEEP YOUR COMPUTERS RISK OF INFECTION AT A MINIMUM YOU SHOULD INSTALL A VPN BUT NOT NORDVPN BECAUSE THEIR NAME IS PROBLEMATIC AS IT ENVISIONS A WHITE NORMATIVE WORLD. Racist Company THEY SAY THAT AN ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM CAN HELP AND I HAVE FOUND THAT THE BEST ANTIVIRUS PROGRAMS INSTALL THEMSELVES ON YOUR COMPUTER IN ADVANCE LIKE AN ANTIBODY JUST SEARCH FOR BAD SITES TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. YOUR COMPUTERS IMMUNE SYSTEM IS YOURS TO BUILD, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR DO SO BEFORE THE SECOND WAVE OF THE VIRUS, THE ELECTRONIC WAVE, HITS US AND DECIMATES OUR INFRASTRUCTURE. Anti Virus Software I found while playing online poker QUARANTINING A SICK COMPUTER IS A MUST AND ITS CONFUSING TO DO FOR MANY PEOPLE. YOUR FILES AND OPERATING SYSTEM BEING INFECTED MEANS YOU WILL NEED TO QUARANTINE THEM AT MINIMUM 14 TO 21 DAYS. SINCE THE VIRUS IS ONLY TRANSMITTABLE TO HUMANS THROUGH OTHER HUMANS OR ANIMALS TOUCHING THE COMPUTER YOURSELF IS FINE BUT IT COULD INFECT OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES IN YOUR HOUSE. YOU WILL NEED TO PUT THE COMPUTER AWAY IN A REMOTE LOCATION OF THE HOUSE WHERE OTHER DEVICES WILL NOT BE AT RISK. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUR COMPUTER TO STAY HEALTHY DURING THIS QUARANTINE SO MAKE SURE YOU GIVE THE COMPUTER LOTS OF FLUIDS, ENSURE IT IS DEFRAGGED PROPERLY, AND MAKE SURE THE FIREWALL IS WORKING. CHANGING YOUR WIFI PASSWORD IS ALSO A GOOD IDEA SO THAT IT CANNOT USE THE AIRWAVES TO SPREAD TO OTHER DEVICES AS WELL. THE QUARANTINE OF THE DEVICE COULD SAVE ITS LIFE AND YOU SHOULD TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS AS SOON AS YOUR ANTI VIRUS ALERTS YOU OF THE PRESENCE OF THE CORONAVIRUS. Cheap, DIY phone protection example SOCIAL DISTANCING CAN SAVE THE OLDER DEVICES IN YOUR HOUSE FROM CERTAIN DEMISE IF APPROPRIATELY DONE SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND IF YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF OLD DEVICES. ONE NOTE IS THAT THERE ARE REPORTS OUT NOW THAT SAY THAT DEVICES THAT SURVIVED Y2K ARE IMMUNE, BUT DEVICES CREATED AFTER THAT ARE NOT IMMUNE SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW YOUR HARDWARE. PENTIUM AND PENTIUM II PROCESSOR POWERED MACHINES ARE IMMUNE BUT SOME OLD PENTIUM III PROCESSORS WERE CREATED AFTER THE YEAR 2000 SO LOOK INTO THE MODEL NUMBER IF YOU HAVE THESE. THE PENTIUM LINE IS THE ONLY LINE I HAVE USED SO I CANNOT SPEAK FOR ANYTHING ELSE. Computer with immunity from Coronavirus FOR ALL OF THE NEWER DEVICES IN THE HOUSEHOLD LIKE MY GRANDSONS NETBOOK AND IPOD (NOTE: I DO NOT SUPPORT APPLE AS THEY ARE CAPITALISTS, MY SON ALLOWED HIM TO BUY IT) I PUT IN LEAD POUCHES WHEN NOT IN USE SO THEY CANNOT BE AFFECTED BY OUTSIDE ELECTRONICS. A CHEAPER SOLUTION IS TO WRAP THEM IN TINFOIL BUT THIS IS NOT AS SAFE AND NOT RECOMMENDED. FINALLY KEEP IN MIND THAT SOCIAL DISTANCING ALSO APPLIES TO SOCIAL MEDIA. REFRAIN FROM 'POKING' YOUR FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE AND CONSIDER NOT COMMENTING ON INSTAGRAM PHOTOS OR TWITTERS FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

<h2>Then and Campbell</h2>
<p><!-- /wp:heading --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Science fiction was originally a way to explain science. (Especially in the early 20s where most of the OC science fiction stories in <em>Amazing Stories</em> were instructional stories, not focusing on the action.) However, in the late 1930s through the first half of the Cold War, science fiction became heavily White--this "White science fiction" idea was highly propagated by John W. Campbell, who was editor of <em>Astounding</em> (later <em>Analog</em>) since the late 30s until his death in 1971.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>I should call Campbell the <em>true</em> father of modern science fiction--he turned the science fiction story concept to become more like a "story that could be perceived as general fiction in a future"; all Big Three science fiction authors (Isaac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein, and <small>SIR</small> Arthur C. Clarke) had submitted at least two science fiction stories to <em>Astounding/Analog</em> during their lives; and two of them (Asimov and Heinlein) were even mentored by Campbell, further to the point <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.counter-currents.com/2019/01/pulp-puppies-competent-men/" target="_blank">that Campbell told (((Asimov))) that all human races are not equal</a>.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:quote {"className":"is-style-default"} --></p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-style-default"><p>I&rsquo;m not interested in victims. I&rsquo;m interested in heroes. I have to be. Science fiction is a problem-solving medium. Man is a curious animal who wants to know how things work and, given enough time, can find out . . . If science fiction doesn&rsquo;t deal with success or the road to success, then it isn&rsquo;t science fiction at all.&nbsp;<em>Mainstream literature is about failure, a literature of defeat. Science fiction is challenge and discovery</em>.</p>
<p><cite>John W. Campbell to Barry Malzberg, who demanded Campbell to explore the science fiction of victimization</cite></p></blockquote>
<p><!-- /wp:quote --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>He even often required any stories concerning alien contact with humans to have a "Humanity, Fuck Yeah!" element--even though some of the stories depicted humans lost:</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:list --></p>
<ul>
<li><small>SIR</small> Arthur's "Rescue Party" (one of his first published work on <em>Astounding</em>) concerns about a galactic federation trying to rescue Terrans as our sun was going nova, but apparently a detachment from that federation (the titular Rescue Party, while not described as such in the story) found out that humans went from radio to space travel in just 200 years--in a universe where the average species took millennia to develop from radio to space travel--and were colonizing other planets as well!,</li>
<li>Fredric Brown's "Arena" (famously adapted into an episode of <em>Star Trek: The Original Series</em>) concerns about a war against sentient spheres, and one of the combatants from each species (humans and spheres) got transported to a circular area, set up by an "evolved intelligence" for a small champion warfare between both species--the winner would have his species win the war too (the enemy species would suddenly poof!-ed out of existence). You might already understand who would win in this small combat...,
<ul>
<li>also of note: his <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.you-books.com/book/F-Brown/Letter-to-a-Phoenix" target="_blank">letter to a phoenix</a> has HFY elements as well</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Christopher Anvil's "Pandora's Planet": the Centran aliens successfully conquered Earth, but later they found out that humans are special and useful for their expansion,</li>
<li>Or in Piers Anthony's "The Alien Rulers" where seems like we lost and got conquered by blue skinned Kazos but later we found out that we also conquered the Kazos too in their homeworld.</li>
<li>(All the stories above were published in <em>Astounding/Analog</em> when Campbell was still editor.)</li>
</ul>
<p><!-- /wp:list --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>...as Campbell's main vision was that readers would be nudged into becoming multitask-able "competent man" ("Specialization is for insects," Lazarus Long wrote in Heinlein's <em>Time Enough for Love</em>), which would evolve into superior ubermensch...</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:heading --></p>
<h2>Today and SJWs</h2>
<p><!-- /wp:heading --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Now, it's a vehicle for the leftists to propagate their ideology of social justice, political correctness, and antifascism. You see, Michael Moorcock, that person who essentially created New Wave science fiction, had declared that many scifi are (as I paraphrase) "<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://libcom.org/library/starship-stormtroopers-michael-moorcock" target="_blank">reactionary, fascist, crap</a>". And this Moorcockian SJWism is even clearer in filmed media--why we saw negatively-depicted, strawman fascist society allegories more in filmed media (both in television and film), like the Martian Congressional Republic of <em>The Expanse</em> (the television series) or CLU 2's Grid in <em>Tron: Legacy</em> or the VERS Empire in <em>Aldnoah.Zero</em>? I'm not even counting the Galactic Empire of <em>Star Wars</em>, as diving deeper to the SW verse would redpill you about the truth about the Jedi Order--in other words, <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUrWyPJqeSk" target="_blank">Anakin was right...</a></p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>And then there's another problem ruining today's science fiction: people sometimes <strong>can't distinguish the author from the work.</strong> Take these two people, for example: Orson Scott Card and Dan Simmons. At least one of their books won the Hugo Award for Best Novel (the former wrote <em>Ender's Game</em>, the latter wrote <em>Hyperion</em> et seq)--yet they sometimes are condemned just because they propagated or believed in politically incorrect ideologies:</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:list --></p>
<ul>
<li>Card tells a story about Terrans destroying a race of hive mind Formics/Buggers just because they attacked one of our crafts as their way to say "hello, we came in peace" (and they mean it!) but then the war against Buggers ended, we tried to gave them a home, but then XENOCIDE!--but, as a Mormon, he hold conservative beliefs about society, even headed the National Organization for Marriage (famous for their anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-homo-marriage stance) between 2008 and 2013, and even called Obama, "by character and preference, a dictator"...</li>
<li>Dan Simmons went 180 degrees on his political stance after 9/11, years after completing the <em>Hyperion Cantos</em>. This is cemented especially after he wrote <em>Flashback</em>, a techno-thriller about the rise of a caliphate in American soil, and then <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://file770.com/dan-simmons-criticized-for-remarks-about-thunberg/" target="_blank">he mocked Greta "How dare you" Thurnberg</a> (but he's pretty much a neocon and <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://investigationsandfantasies.com/2014/08/06/the-once-and-future-jews-of-dan-simmons/" target="_blank">highly suspected to be as Zionist as Rupert Murdoch</a>).</li>
</ul>
<p><!-- /wp:list --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Also of note: Faux White Guy Theodore "Vox Day" Beale (he has Native American blood) was expelled from the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA)--even though he was once nominated to be President of the SFWA and divide SFWA's Nebula Awards into two sub-Awards: one for scifi, and another for fantasy--mainly because he opposed the rising tide of SJWism in the SFWA and launched the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://infogalactic.com/info/Rabid_Puppies" target="_blank">Rabid Puppies campaign</a> (the more #GamerGate-esque counterpart to Larry Correia's <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sad_Puppies" target="_blank">Sad Puppies campaign</a> launched at the same time) to shortlist more less-literary and more-conservative SF works into the Hugo Awards, SF's traditionally most prestige awards... (this was then retold in his infamous book, <em><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.counter-currents.com/2015/09/defeating-the-left/" target="_blank">SJWs Always Lie</a></em>)</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Note that Liu Cixin's <em>The Three-Body Problem</em> (tr. Ken Liu), the first of an alien invasion epic trilogy seen from a Marxist <em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Weltanschauung">Weltanschauung</a></em>, won the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2015, the year when Sad and Rabid Puppies <em>de facto</em> emerged (Sad Puppies was launched in 2013 to shortlist Correia's books at first)</p>

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The change of time also mark the change of how science fiction depicts the ideal society. Back then, people were highly optimistic that we would have colonized the Solar System in the year 2000. Today? Nah, instead we got the megacorp full dystopia (see: <em>Blade Runner</em>, <em><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.charliejade.net/" target="_blank">Charlie Jade</a></em>) and yet <a href="https://iddqd.press/2020/04/cyberpunk-2020-is-about-to-become-real-fucking-life-in-america/">we just predicted that <em>Cyberpunk 2020</em> would become <em>reality</em> in the near future</a>. I also feel a dystopian ambiance happening in my hometown Jakarta--especially since we Jakartans are NOW under "<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2020/04/08/jakarta-will-impose-stronger-mobility-restrictions-on-friday-heres-what-you-need-to-know.html" target="_blank">large-scale social restrictions</a>" due to coronachan, see infographic courtesy of the <em>Jakarta Post</em> on the right</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:heading --></p>
<h2>Conclusion: How should we act?</h2>
<p><!-- /wp:heading --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>As science fiction increasingly becoming infected with SJWism, we should act--by creating. We should create science fiction that is not infected with SJW elements, like progressivism and so-called "diversity", and share it with the dissident right. Create stories that is politically incorrect, maybe with the HFY elements of old; or movies that have politically incorrect elements. After all, <em>Star Wars</em>'s original and prequel trilogies has a subtle message that is politically incorrect. That is, again, Anakin was right.</p>

<p>There is a lot of hype about <em>Cyberpunk 2077</em> coming out soon, but thanks to coronachan, what I think a lot of people don't quite realize is that <em>Cyberpunk 2020</em> was not just right about what could happen to us, but it was right about which year it will happen to us.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>The debate surrounding coronachan has largely been about whether or not it is a real and serious medical threat, which it probably is. I am not a fan of the "just a flu" dismissals. It's a real virus and will likely have a major death toll. However, what I don't think people realize is that this death toll is just the beginning, and worse, even if the flubros turn out to be entirely correct, it won't save us. If tons of people die from coronavirus it will surely be a terrible thing, but regardless of if that takes place, the economic and social consequences of this are even realer and in my personal opinion even more serious. Those people going uninfected or surviving the disease instead won't save us from the hard times that are upon us.</p>

<p>Various State governments have issued half measures to keep the spread of coronachan in check.

<p><a href="https://matrix.org">Matrix</a>, for those unfamiliar <sup>(<a href="https://matrix.to/#/!NrQpTMuWYUaVHTtCVy:nerdsin.space?via=iddqd.social&amp;via=matrix.org&amp;via=nerdsin.space">hint hint, nudge nudge</a>)</sup> is an instant messaging protocol created as a spiritual successor to IRC with the main selling points being federation, an easily extendable event-based timeline, and being based upon HTTP. Over the years however Matrix has matured into less of an IRC successor and more of a Slack or Discord competitor with the introduction of Presences, Pinned messages, Edits, User statuses and more recently Reactions. This article will go through a brief look at the various developments of the protocol, detail some issues surrounding it, and also the company behind Matrix: New Vector</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Matrix is developed as an open standard by the Matrix Foundation, a group ostensibly separate from Vector until you look at its board of directors, which includes several current or former Vector IM employees. Due to the influence Vector has over the Matrix Foundation, they may as well be the same entity.</p>

<h2>How Matrix Works</h2>
<p><!-- /wp:heading --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Matrix (The platform) is a decentralized platform powered by federated "homeservers," and has a very similar network model to email, where users from different providers can freely message one another. Just like email, you'll have your "big boys" as well as smaller, more niche providers. The main difference between the networking models is that Matrix rooms are "mirrored" between homeservers and room coordination can be unaffected even if the original homeserver is unavailable or the room has been shutdown by the original homeserver.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>

<p>Matrix rooms (or channels), are a collection of events, such as messages, and metadata, such as the name of the room and settings about the room. Matrix, the protocol, has no real concept of what a "message" is aside from it being a type of event with a rough schema that is to be followed. Events that aren't defined in the standard are to be stored as-is and left for clients to deal with. For development, specifically rapid development, this is great as you are able to send arbitrary events that a Matrix server does not need to have a concept of in order to expand the functionality of the protocol. This has been done several times and is how user statuses and reactions are implemented in Riot, through the <code>im.vector.user_status</code> and <code>m.reaction</code> event types respectively. Events that a client does not know how to handle are often hidden or not rendered. A side effect of this behavior is that the security model of Matrix content will entirely depend on clients to validate events in the timeline. Expanding upon this, a user could create a denial of service against a room simply by sending large numbers of meaningless, hidden events. The most popular Matrix client, Riot will choke when loading large numbers of them and will essentially lock Riot users from being able to scroll through chat history. This is due to how Riot handles infinite scrolling. This exploit has yet to be publicly deployed, at least to my knowledge. However, it is a significant issue that has been left unaddressed.</p>

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>If you are familiar with the security of internet services the words "arbitrary" and "validate client-side" may make you concerned and the potential issues with this approach are likely racing through your mind. Sadly this is an issue that matrix consistently bumps into in regards to security.</p>

<h3>Room Tombstoning</h3>
<p><!-- /wp:heading --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Matrix rooms have the ability to be "tombstoned," forever locking the room and pointing to a new one. Tombstoning a room essentially archives the old room and creates a pointer to a successor room, although tombstoning rooms has a purpose to exist, in the process of tombstoning a room the admin who tombstones the room gains full control over the new room. Tombstoning a room can be done either through the API or through sending the <code>m.room.tombstone</code> event (which yes, can be done arbitrarily), even though this event can only be sent by room admins that doesn't leave it free from brewing drama.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>A good example of tombstoning gone wrong is <a href="https://matrix.to/#/#offtopic:matrix.org">#offtopic:matrix.org</a> where the previous owner transferred ownership to an infamous ponyfag who tombstoned the room and began being a jannie. The room has now become a ghost-town with only bots inflating the engagement metrics, in a similar fashion to rooms ran by another infamous matrix.org user named <a href="https://glowers.club/wiki/doku.php?id=mmjd">mmjd</a>.</p>

<h3>Questionable Decisions</h3>
<p><!-- /wp:heading --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Matrix has an ever-expanding history of <abbr title="Access Control Lock">ACL</abbr> Banning users, rooms and even homeservers for various nonsensical reasons. Here's a small set of good examples:</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:list --></p>
<ul>
<li>A punished <a href="https://matrix.to/#/#realanarchy:matrix.org?via=matrix.org">#realanarchy:matrix.org</a>, denied it's existence: <code>#realanarchy</code>, an <abbr title="A matrix anarchy room is a room where everyone has the same power level, usually admin or moderator">anarchy</abbr> room, was shutdown by Matrix staff for "hosting illegal content." However in reality, it was rage-banned because Matrix developers were being invited to it.</li>
<li>The alias <code>#8chan:matrix.org</code> was revoked by <a href="https://matrix.to/#/@matthew:matrix.org?via=matrix.org">Matthew</a> despite his account not being in the room. He was publicly asked about this, but he never responded.</li>
<li><a href="https://matrix.to/#/@fractal:matrix.org">@fractal</a>, one of the first adopters of Matrix was harassed by the users of Fractal, a GTK Matrix client because of his ownership of the alias <a href="https://matrix.to/#/#fractal:matrix.org">#fractal:matrix.org</a>, as well as said users lobbying for Matrix to revoke the alias and grant it to the Fractal team. @fractal was accused of alias squatting despite using the aliases for active rooms, the alias was not revoked. However no action was taken against the users who were harassing @fractal.</li>
<li><a href="https://nerdsin.space/">nerdsin.space</a>, a semi-popular homeserver was ACL banned from <a href="https://matrix.to/#/+matrix:matrix.org">+matrix</a> due to "one of our users commenting (((mesh networks))) in a chat about mesh networks". Similar to <code>glowers.club</code>, when the homeserver operator Tristan contacted abuse@matrix.org to discuss the ban, he was greeted with complete silence from Matrix.</li>
</ul>
<p><!-- /wp:list --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>These decisions aren't just exclusive to their homeserver. They have also have rejected a client from being listed on their official website due to the political background of one of the developers.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>On <em>Monday 5, August 2019</em>, Vector, in their infinite wisdom, decided to loop through their entire catalog of rooms and ban every room that had the format of either "/name/" or "/name/ - Room Name" and in the process, shoah'd thousands of chan rooms and kicked thousands of innocent <code>matrix.org</code> users from them due to the fallout of one shitposting Australian and the retardation of a reactionary administration team. Quite literally running the regex <code>/^\/[0-9A-z]+\/($|\s+-)/</code> and banning any room that passes it</p>

<h3>Hostility towards other homeservers</h3>
<p><!-- /wp:heading --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Matrix staff generally act disrespectfully when confronted with issues about their homeserver such as federation problems or suggestions of mismanagement, and will use their position as the "official" homeserver of Matrix to demean and discredit such claims.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Around Mar 27 2019, the second largest matrix homeserver <a href="https://ordoevangelistarum.org">OrdoEvangelistarum</a> was experiencing federation problems with matrix.org <sup>(these problems were later discovered to be entirely the fault of matrix.org)</sup>. Instead of attempting to genuinely diagnose the problem presented, the Matrix staff instead opted to simply blame the problem on OrdoEvangelistarum and claim they simply misconfigured something.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Homeservers deemed unfit for basking in the glorious resource hog that are the official Matrix rooms have virtually no chance of getting an ACL ban lifted. Asking for help in #matrix with an alt will get you directed to abuse@matrix.org, asking for help from abuse@matrix.org will direct you to an auto-reply and then, radio silence.</p>

<p>Let's say you don't care about anything above and you're a hardcore mastodon.social user who loves Bernie Sanders and who hates racism, sexism and all other kinds of -isms. Well, a recent "experience" I had dealing with matrix.org may genuinely shock you, It did for me</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>For some context, at around 20:32 on 17 March 2020 I got two reports of a matrix.org user who was sending unsolicited pictures of their asshole to female users (or one's they assumed to be), these two reports eventually became three reports after further requesting information which led to a third user claiming that the user sent them CP. The claim was backed by one of the original two users, at this point I decided to login to my matrix.org account to report the issue to <a href="https://matrix.to/#/#matrix:matrix.org">#matrix:matrix.org</a> since this was obviously something that violated their homeserver rules. Due to the aforementioned radio silence from their abuse email, there would likely be no point in contacting them from it</p>

<p>What infuriates me more is not the original situation but rather the response of Travis, someone who directly represents the Matrix Protocol, the Matrix Foundation, the matrix.org homeserver and the matrix.org abuse management team. The complete lack of professionalism or any attempt to point me to something other than the abuse email which I at several points stated I would rather not be forced to use is absolutely baffling. If you are someone who believes that Codes of Conduct are good and that sexual harassment is unacceptable, here you have one of the highest men in Matrix saying that "he isn't that concerned at this point" when the issue of female users being harassed by creeps is brought up.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Even how other users in the room treat the issue is concerning, instead of suggesting that instead of the user who is in clear violation of the Matrix Code of Conduct be banned or looked to, decide to condescendingly lecture me on how I should be telling my users to block the offending user and how being vocal about the issue is a bad thing. As has been previously shown in this article, this condescending attitude is somewhat common.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>If you are a liberal or a leftist, however you describe yourself, how can you in good faith direct users to matrix.org when people like this are the ones with the responsibility of preventing the harassment of protected groups? If I held those beliefs, I would not</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>I have since sent an email to abuse@matrix.org about the abusive user which has yet to be responded to, if it does I'll update you here although I wouldn't to hold my breath.</p>

<h2>Alternative Homeservers</h2>
<p><!-- /wp:heading --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>If this article turns you off from using matrix.org as your homeserver of choice, don't let it turn you off from the protocol in general. One of the major advantages of federates services is that no one "private company" or government is in charge. You can consider the other following homeservers for your matrix'ing needs:</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:list --></p>

<li><a href="https://halogen.chat">halogen.city</a>: A homeserver ran by a <abbr title="Self described centrist*">centrist</abbr> called Iodine, if you are an aforementioned liberal or lefty that the above section is targeted at, you'd likely feel most at home here. There are of course many other homeservers that would also host left-leaning users however the vast majority either have rules that calling strict would be a severe understatement or have selectively enforced their rules. If you have tough skin you can of course also join the other homeservers in the list, although some may be kinder than others</li>
<li><a href="https://matrix.ordoevangelistarum.org/chat">matrix.ordoevangelistarum.org</a>: One of the oldest matrix homeservers aside of matrix.org, operates the vast majority of "chan rooms" that matrix has to offer.</li>

Although you can join the homeserver and use it for things unrelated, <a href="https://matrix.to/#/@avf:200acres.org">@avf</a> will probably spam invite you to his rooms because he's is lonely <sup><code>:(</code></sup></li>
<li><a href="https://nerdsin.space/">nerdsin.space</a>: Shitposter friendly, ran by Tristan and has a large userbase that plays on 2b2t.</li>

<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>{"display_name"=>"Kakol", "login"=>"Kakol", "email"=>"kakol@iddqd.press", "url"=>""}kakol@iddqd.pressMatrix, for those unfamiliar (hint hint, nudge nudge) is an instant messaging protocol created as a spiritual successor to IRC with the main selling points being federation, an easily extendable event-based timeline, and being based upon HTTP. Over the years however Matrix has matured into less of an IRC successor and more of a Slack or Discord competitor with the introduction of Presences, Pinned messages, Edits, User statuses and more recently Reactions. This article will go through a brief look at the various developments of the protocol, detail some issues surrounding it, and also the company behind Matrix: New Vector Matrix is developed as an open standard by the Matrix Foundation, a group ostensibly separate from Vector until you look at its board of directors, which includes several current or former Vector IM employees. Due to the influence Vector has over the Matrix Foundation, they may as well be the same entity. How Matrix Works Matrix (The platform) is a decentralized platform powered by federated "homeservers," and has a very similar network model to email, where users from different providers can freely message one another. Just like email, you'll have your "big boys" as well as smaller, more niche providers. The main difference between the networking models is that Matrix rooms are "mirrored" between homeservers and room coordination can be unaffected even if the original homeserver is unavailable or the room has been shutdown by the original homeserver. Matrix rooms (or channels), are a collection of events, such as messages, and metadata, such as the name of the room and settings about the room. Matrix, the protocol, has no real concept of what a "message" is aside from it being a type of event with a rough schema that is to be followed. Events that aren't defined in the standard are to be stored as-is and left for clients to deal with. For development, specifically rapid development, this is great as you are able to send arbitrary events that a Matrix server does not need to have a concept of in order to expand the functionality of the protocol. This has been done several times and is how user statuses and reactions are implemented in Riot, through the im.vector.user_status and m.reaction event types respectively. Events that a client does not know how to handle are often hidden or not rendered. A side effect of this behavior is that the security model of Matrix content will entirely depend on clients to validate events in the timeline. Expanding upon this, a user could create a denial of service against a room simply by sending large numbers of meaningless, hidden events. The most popular Matrix client, Riot will choke when loading large numbers of them and will essentially lock Riot users from being able to scroll through chat history. This is due to how Riot handles infinite scrolling. This exploit has yet to be publicly deployed, at least to my knowledge. However, it is a significant issue that has been left unaddressed. If you are familiar with the security of internet services the words "arbitrary" and "validate client-side" may make you concerned and the potential issues with this approach are likely racing through your mind. Sadly this is an issue that matrix consistently bumps into in regards to security. Room Tombstoning Matrix rooms have the ability to be "tombstoned," forever locking the room and pointing to a new one. Tombstoning a room essentially archives the old room and creates a pointer to a successor room, although tombstoning rooms has a purpose to exist, in the process of tombstoning a room the admin who tombstones the room gains full control over the new room. Tombstoning a room can be done either through the API or through sending the m.room.tombstone event (which yes, can be done arbitrarily), even though this event can only be sent by room admins that doesn't leave it free from brewing drama. A good example of tombstoning gone wrong is #offtopic:matrix.org where the previous owner transferred ownership to an infamous ponyfag who tombstoned the room and began being a jannie. The room has now become a ghost-town with only bots inflating the engagement metrics, in a similar fashion to rooms ran by another infamous matrix.org user named mmjd.

Due to the aforementioned radio silence from their abuse email, there would likely be no point in contacting them from it Below is the conversation between myself and @travis, a vector employee who is both part of the Abuse Management team and one of the people with access to abuse@matrix.org. I was so infuriated at how Travis handled this that I ended up leaving the room. After I did, he even gloated that I would have been able to quickly get in contact the abuse team by posting internal numbers that only he has access to. Why he decided to only post these numbers AFTER I left is anyone's guess, Hanlon's Razor and all What infuriates me more is not the original situation but rather the response of Travis, someone who directly represents the Matrix Protocol, the Matrix Foundation, the matrix.org homeserver and the matrix.org abuse management team. The complete lack of professionalism or any attempt to point me to something other than the abuse email which I at several points stated I would rather not be forced to use is absolutely baffling. If you are someone who believes that Codes of Conduct are good and that sexual harassment is unacceptable, here you have one of the highest men in Matrix saying that "he isn't that concerned at this point" when the issue of female users being harassed by creeps is brought up. Even how other users in the room treat the issue is concerning, instead of suggesting that instead of the user who is in clear violation of the Matrix Code of Conduct be banned or looked to, decide to condescendingly lecture me on how I should be telling my users to block the offending user and how being vocal about the issue is a bad thing. As has been previously shown in this article, this condescending attitude is somewhat common. If you are a liberal or a leftist, however you describe yourself, how can you in good faith direct users to matrix.org when people like this are the ones with the responsibility of preventing the harassment of protected groups? If I held those beliefs, I would not I have since sent an email to abuse@matrix.org about the abusive user which has yet to be responded to, if it does I'll update you here although I wouldn't to hold my breath. Alternative Homeservers If this article turns you off from using matrix.org as your homeserver of choice, don't let it turn you off from the protocol in general. One of the major advantages of federates services is that no one "private company" or government is in charge. You can consider the other following homeservers for your matrix'ing needs: halogen.city: A homeserver ran by a centrist called Iodine, if you are an aforementioned liberal or lefty that the above section is targeted at, you'd likely feel most at home here. There are of course many other homeservers that would also host left-leaning users however the vast majority either have rules that calling strict would be a severe understatement or have selectively enforced their rules. If you have tough skin you can of course also join the other homeservers in the list, although some may be kinder than others matrix.ordoevangelistarum.org: One of the oldest matrix homeservers aside of matrix.org, operates the vast majority of "chan rooms" that matrix has to offer. 200acres.org: A homeserver with the purpose similar to the subreddit r/200acres, that being homesteading. Although you can join the homeserver and use it for things unrelated, @avf will probably spam invite you to his rooms because he's is lonely :( nerdsin.space: Shitposter friendly, ran by Tristan and has a large userbase that plays on 2b2t. matrix.kiwifarms.net: Operated by KiwiFarms, a rather infamous internet lulcow milking ranch. KiwiFarms also runs a pleroma instance iddqd.social: we also offer a homeserver (and a pleroma instance). IDDQD does not offer a riot instance, you will need to register using either riot.im/app or a public riot instance. thisisjoes.site: A homeserver ran by a centrist butter enthusiast. midov.pl: A wizard-friendly homeserver.

<p>Most of us by now know who Terry A. Davis, the author of TempleOS was. He was a diagnosed schizophrenic who wrote an entire operating system just to talk to God. He would often go on slur-laden rants online while he livestreamed his programming sessions. He is also responsible for the "glow in the dark CIA niggers" meme online, which later transformed into quite a few variations like "glowniggers," "glowies," and so on.</p>

<p>A lot of us are going back to university or school tomorrow, if we did not already go back to school. Spring Break is coming to a close for the lot of us and the semester is beginning again. All of the courses are online now, which renders basically the entire educational structure a distance learning program, but also allows us unprecedented opportunity to record those lectures for all manner of purposes, from the merely petty like piracy and not wanting to take notes to the activist like holding professors accountable when they stress an unacceptably anti-white, anti-male, or otherwise SJ-pozzed perspective.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>

<p>This article encourages you university students and school kids to do the latter.

<p>The old adage you have been taught, "if you see something, say something" applies here just as much as anywhere else, but this time, you get to do more than just say something. You get to show others what you saw, audiovisually. If one of your professors says something that betrays these perspectives while you're recording, which you should do reflexively and by default from here on, you should upload that shit onto YouTube, onto BitChute, and onto any other video sharing service that will let you.</p>
